Just Can’t Get Enough

Do you ever order the same dish again and again? At my gym’s cafe, I’d order a “Spinach Salad” almost every single time and the woman at the counter will give me a smile, already predicting the order. Not that there’s nothing else that is worth ordering… I simply love this salad to pieces even if in most days, there really isn’t a single leaf of spinach on it. Sometimes I’d get a plate of mixed greens or a mix of spinach and arugula… so I do get the variety in that sense. But whatever the greens are, it has become a staple lunch order when I’m at the gym.

It’s really not the greens but what goes with it that I love. Imagine… sweet caramelized apples and raisins with chunks of blue cheese and bits of bacon. A winner through and through, don’t you think? But because I can have that prepared for me once or twice a week, I thought to use this as inspiration instead. I loosely adapted Donna Hay’s recipe and came up with this terrific salad. It has the same sweet-savory combination that goes so well with the peppery taste of Arugula but with an added crunch from the walnuts.
